I've enjoyed this thread - welcome to the board!
My parents got me the Baseball's Greatest Hitters, Sluggers, Pitchers series when I was a kid and I studied the backs of every one of them. As a 12-year-old, that was about as close as I was going to get to owning a Cobb or Gehrig card. I remember really being in awe of the guys who were in BOTH the Hitters and Sluggers sets.
A few years later I picked up a box of cards at a yard sale and when I got home I realized I had complete sets of the 1919 Chicago White Sox and the 1946 Boston Red Sox, along with a lot of other various TCMA cards and 1970s Topps cards. I always loved the Ted Williams card from the '46 Red Sox set (pictured below).
Good work!
